This item has never been opened and stored in a display case since new. Its pics reflect its stunning condition. Just a wipe down for sanitary sanity of the outside of the box. Some minor scuffs but the clear window is good. The case has never been opened. The box shows some stacking wear. This is in a 1/43th scale replica. The 1996 Warsteiner Mercedes Benz #3 driven by J Nagussen for the Team AMG. A beautifully detailed model. Price includes free continental USA shipping, from a non smoker home, and no odors. Pics are taken close up and concrete the description, therefore, NO RETURNS!!  Thanks for looking. Thank you for your purchase.. HOWEVER, thanks to eBay's new policies, including eliminating Pay Pal, they are holding BUYER'S payments for 3-5 DAYS, before depositing into SELLER'S accounts. During this hold, they are making MILLIONS in interest daily. I will be changing my listing descriptions to reflect this. I just cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars on shipping out daily, when they are HOLDING funds to the sellers, who are paying ALL the fees, besides the free shipping. Nothing personal, but please understand this. Items are now on a MINIMUM 5 DAY wait, before shipped.  DUE TO THE BAT FLU FROM CHINA, NO MORE DIRECT, OUT OF THE COUNTRY SHIPPING. GLOBAL SHIPPING IS CHECKED AS AN OPTION, BUT NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS IN CUSTOMS OF ANY COUNTRY.  
THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH REPRESENTS 22 YEARS OF SCAMMERS, NON PAYING BIDDERS, AND OTHER NO FAULT ISSUES*****
Email any questions BEFORE you bid.  "BUY IT NOW" means EXACTLY what is says. If you click on it..BUY it. This also means, if you buy it, PAY for it. Please do not "buy it now", and not pay for it. This is not LAY AWAY eBay. You have taken my item off the market when you bid on it.  Most of the items sold are USED, vintage items, not new items from today. If it is marked new, it IS new. It may be a vintage, old item, but if it is unused or unopened other than for photos, then it is NEW. That is why items are described in detail. Items are priced as used, not new, unless otherwise noted. If it appears unused, but does not have an original packaging or box, it is considered new. Free shipping is offered on  items in the continental USA ONLY. Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico rates from FL are not included in our free shipping. DUE TO THE BAT FLU EXPOSED BY CHINA, NO DIRECT OVERSEAS SHIPPING. Overseas shipping is done through eBay's Global shipping program ONLY. Payment is expected within 24 hours of auction closing on 'local pickup only" items. All others are expected immediately. A case will be opened with eBay for non payment as soon as possible, for  non payment and no further contact with you will be submitted. The item will be re-listed and you will be recorded by eBay as a non-paying bidder. This is done regardless of your excuse, to get the final value fee credit. AS LONG AS EBAY ALLOWS THE CHOICE NOT TO EXCEPT RETURNS, I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS. PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME FOR RETURN REQUEST. EBAY OFFERS SELLERS THE CHOICE WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT RETURNS AND I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS. Items are carefully wrapped and packed. If it arrives damaged, take it to the post office. Not responsible for careless handling by carriers or shipping handlers and am not paying to get it back. International registered mail has their on guidelines for each country, and you as the buyer can research how to file your claim online at usps.com. This was verified by phone with eBay. MAKE YOUR YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS MATCHES YOUR PAY PAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION. I ship to the  PP address on file. No fault applies to lost or non received items. Once again...PLEASE, if you cannot pay for it, do NOT bid on it. Do not bid  with buyer's remorse. After 20 years, and that fact that eBay's "buyer protection" leaves nothing secure for the seller, trying to sell on eBay has become much more difficult. Veteran sellers do understand this. If you do not understand any part of these shipping details, please email for questions. Thank you for your interest in AMERICA'S collectible history, and thank you to those that have, do, and will, serve to protect our country. God bless the USA.
